@Gen2703 - power cleans are so cool.. one day I'll stop being intimidated and try them Workout A today Squat: 5x5x90 - Was getting tough on the last two reps, so we'll see how Friday goes, but with three lifting days left in July I think I might hit 100 before August Bench: 4/5/5/4/4x75 Deloading next time :( Row:…

Can I just second everything you said? Good luck on your lifting today! Yesterday Exercise: C25K Week 2 Day 3 Logged everything?: yes Met goal: oh yes. In fact, even though I am still making up for Sunday's excess I came home after work to find an extra 100 cals waiting for me, so I got so have a snack before bed :)

Way to completely forget to check in, here. 130 today. Going to start weighing myself daily or every other day so I can start picking up on trends (and actually remembering to weigh myself every week)

Interesting, I'll check those out.... still figuring out the different kinds of lifts, it's hard when they're all so similar! I just find the conventional ones awkward - I think I'm going to deload anyway to work on form; they aren't hurting in any way but something just doesn't feel right. I also have to do mine elevated…

@ KiwipowaRoo I'm on Week 2 (repeated) of C25K and it's really good. Last time I tried to start running I joined a "beginner" (ha!) class at my uni gym - they started us running 20 mins and hills on the first day. Needless to say, I didn't last long. @ Bettyboag Good job! Beer is my weakness too. I start with one and then…

Workout B yesterday Squats 5x5x85 - no idea why suddenly these are feeling easy, but I love it! Probably a combination of more energy from upping calories plus I think my core strength is improving OHP 5/5/5/4/4 x 55. Next time for sure... I was SO CLOSE on the last 2 Deadlift 1x3x125 I think I'm going to deload on…

@KiwipowaRoo good idea :) always nice to have a little something put aside Yesterday Exercise: Couch to 5K week 2 day 2 - not a great run, felt like my feet had concrete shoes on. But I wanted to give myself as many calories as possible because I was eating out Logged everything: ... sort of. I had to find some generic…

Hi KiwipowaRoo! :flowerforyou: Awesome progress so far! I feel your pain on the eating - I'm pretty active and lift heavy, but then I go and throw all my effort away by cheating Speaking of, I gave in to my craving last night, but only had 1 bottle beer and about 30g chocolate. So that's not too bad. It's just that I've…

Yesterday Exercise: 40 mins weight lifting Logged everything: yes Met goal: yes Today Exercise: 30 mins walk/run intervals. Then 8 hour retail shift (hey, it counts) logged everything: yes met goal: so far... I put down my unplanned dessert a few days ago for today because I knew I'd be burning more calories today. But it…

I know exactly the feeling you have right now. When that happens to me I usually wallow for a few days and kick myself later. My best suggestion is to go for a walk. Even if you don't want to, tell yourself you'll just go out for ten minutes or around the block. Usually the fresh air and even light exercise makes me feel…

Workout A today Squats: 5x5x85 - still feeling like I'm just rolling right along, but I'm going to repeat this weight next time to try and get a little lower (I was just hitting parallel today) Bench 5/5/4/4/3 x 75 Row 4/3 65 - my elbow started locking up as it sometime does so I decided to call it a day

You definitely should, it's a real confidence booster :) Yesterday Exercise: 1/2 hour run/walk intervals Logged everything: yes Met goal: just barely I have 3 days off this week so I'm finding it difficult to get as much walking in as I normally do.

Wow, been I while since I checked in. Last week I was really frustrated with everything - didn't seem to be progressing on lifts, making any weight loss progress or anything. But then this week everything suddenly seems easy and awesome - finally moved past 70 lbs on squats, which I've been stuck around since early June…

Keep forgetting to actually come and check in... that will be my goal for this week. Last week I did really well and met my goal every day. This week... well I had a serious sugar craving yesterday and gave in to some ice cream and a cupcake I found in the freezer, but I spread out logging the calories over 3 days so I…

Yesterday Exercise: missed my workout :( Logged everything: yes Met goal: sort of. Ate right at maintenance but I had a deficit of about 800 on Thursday. Tonight I have a buck and doe that I'm going to try and stay in moderation at. It helps that I'm driving so I won't be drinking.

Forgot to actually update yesterday, but I did my exercise and met my goal. Today did a day trip to the city and walked 18.5 km - I'm estimating how many calories I ate because I was eating out with no nutritional info available, but even using the highest-calorie generic Chinese food in the database I'm under. So I'll…

That's awesome! was that mostly from the run/walk or just being active throughout the day? I ask because I struggle to get even 10,000, even though I work on my feet. Yesterday: Exercise: Couch to 5k Week 2 Day 2 Logged everything: yes Met goal: yes. Today's goal: eat some more vegetables. I usually eat pretty healthy and…

Yeah, I'm already back to just over a pound higher than I was the last time I weighed in before upping, it was just discouraging to suddenly shoot up 5 lbs and start spilling out of my jeans I love mine, but honestly, I don't think gadgets are a necessity in any way. I got mine because I couldn't figure out a method that…

129.9! I am so glad to get below 130, even by only an ounce (I think? We measure body weight in imperial but everything else in metric here, so I'm not 100% sure how pounds and ounces work :tongue: ) I have been avoiding stepping on the scale for a while - at the beginning of June I finally lost my Christmas 3 lbs to get…

Already slipping with posting every day.. but for the last couple days I've met my calorie goals and done some exercise on top of my retail-job walking, so at least I'm coming back in decent form :) Neither my run today or lifting yesterday left me feeling like I killed it, but I'm just telling myself that at least I got…

W2D2 for me today, and it did not go well thanks to general tiredness, humid weather and not really being in the mood for it, The second-to-last run interval I gave up and walked after 1 min, and the last one after 30 seconds. I'm glad I got out and tried something, anyway. Definitely going to do Week 2 again, especially…

Skipped my workout yesterday out of exhaustion so I did Workout B today. Overslept and I really didn't feel like doing anything, so in the interest of time I did 3x5 instead, so at least I got something in. Squat 3x5x70 OHP 3x5x50 DL1x2x125

Hey, it's your body - whatever works for you! Nice job on the walking. I really wish I still lived in the city, because I love walking, but out here it would take me 4-5 hours just to get to work :ohwell: Exercise: C25K Week 2 Day 1 (30 mins run/walk intervals) Logged everything: yes Met goal: yep. actually under by ~150…

Yeah I do find it happens most on the last couple reps when I'm tired or the first time I move up the weights. I usually stay put until I can get the form down.

I have this exact same issue. I think it might be because my core isn't as strong as my legs, but I'm in for suggestions too

Ugh, I hate that - especially if it's in the evening and there's no time/energy to do extra exercise. I recently moved back in with my parents and even if I try to find out what's cooking ahead of time I occasionally get a surprise at dinnertime.

W2D1! It was tough but every time I thought "oh my god I can't go on for one more second" the walk prompt came - only stopped running about 10 seconds early on the last interval. I really need to learn to slow down though - it feels so weird to go slower, like I'm shuffling or I'm constantly about to trip, but I was…

@logg1e that's awesome! I'm jealous, London's a great city for walking in :) @dancingj2 I like your system, so copying Exercise: 40 mins lifting Logged everything: yes Met goal: no (but under maintenance) Yesterday I went wayyyy over (like, 1000+ calories) thanks to skipping my workout and Canada Day BBQ/bonfire. I have a…

I skipped Monday's workout for holiday weekend related reasons (read: hangover) so today was Workout A Squats: 4/5/5/5/5 x 70 - I overbalanced backwards on the last rep of the first set and had to dump the weights. Bench 5x5x65 Row 5x5x60 I added in some glute bridges at the end - 3x10x30.

Not a great weekend for me - lots of holiday weekend BBQs and bonfires and not a ton of motivation to work out. Actually June as a whole wasn't great; I ended up taking almost half the month off in total. But! It's a new month, and my goal for July is to be consistent - to do my 3 running and 3 lifting workouts a week, and…
